Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

^ Verify that the crankshaft sprocket keyway is at the 9 o'clock position.




^ Align camshaft timing marks (3) so they are parallel to the cylinder head and aligned each other as shown.




^ Install timing chain so plated links on chain align with timing marks on camshaft sprockets (1).




^ Align timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket (2) with the plated link (3) on the timing chain. Position chain so slack will be on the tensioner side.




^ Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two complete revolutions until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC position with the key way at the 9 o'clock position.




^ Verify that the camshafts timing marks (3) are in the proper position.




^ Install the balancer and verify that balancer mark (2) and cover mark (1) are aligned.
